Laying the Groundwork for Sociological Research: In a post of between 150 and 250 words, respond to the following discussion: First, start with a very brief summary of the origins of sociology as a field of study discussed in Chapter 1. Now, consider the sociologists discussed in your textbook on pages 9 - 16. Which one of these sociologists do you find most interesting and/or relevant to the field? What characteristics or contributions informed your choice? Be sure to cite page numbers when you quote material from the text.
